Jessica Aguilar said the UFC promised to get her in the octagon as soon as possible after her fight against Jodie Esquibel was pulled from UFC Fight Night 131 earlier this month – just minutes before the fighters were set to enter the octagon. Now, the promotion has delivered and rescheduled the strawweight bout between Aguilar (19-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) and Esquibel (6-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) for July’s UFC Fight Night 133 event. Aguilar announced the news today on social media, and expressed much gratitude toward UFC brass (via Instagram ): “Great news!! My fight has been rebooked for July 14th! I’m so happy and extremely thankful. I’d like to send out a HUGE GRACIAS to my team (my , coaches, sparring partner, friends and family), for all their help, support, love and for riding with me on this rollercoaster.
